Job Description

This role is not for everyone.

  • We’re not looking for someone to run campaigns. We’re looking for someone to own them — to take real responsibility, drive results that matter, and help shape the next chapter of our agency’s growth.

About us, Serotonin

We’re a performance-driven digital marketing agency based in Manchester, working with eCommerce, lifestyle, and FMCG brands that are serious about growth. Our clients range from funded start-ups to established global names – and they come to us because we get results.

We do strategy. We do media. We do growth.

At Serotonin, there’s no red tape, no middle management bloat, and no “coasting” culture. We move fast, challenge mediocrity, and expect everyone here to raise the bar – for themselves and others.

What You'll Do

  • Own paid social campaign performance from strategy to execution — across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn & more
  • Launch, optimise, test, and scale campaigns based on hard data and sharp thinking
  • Collaborate with creative, strategy, and media teams to build campaigns that actually convert
  • Report with clarity – not vagueness – and tie everything back to performance
  • Contribute to audits, forecasts, strategic planning, and client presentations
  • Actively seek ways to do better: faster, smarter, and leaner
  • Work closely with the Head of Paid Social and challenge ideas when needed

This role isn’t task-based. It’s outcome-based. Your performance is measured on results, not inputs. That’s the kind of freedom – and pressure – we offer.

What You'll Need

  • 2–3+ years’ experience running campaigns in Meta Ads Manager
  • Evidence you’ve improved performance on real campaigns (not just hit “boost”)
  • Strong data and analysis skills (Google Sheets & Excel)
  • Strategic thinking — you don’t just follow instructions, you ask why
  • Ability to prioritise and manage time across multiple client accounts
  • Experience with TikTok, LinkedIn or other paid social platforms is a bonus
  • Desire to grow, learn, and level up — quickly
  • Comfortable receiving and giving honest feedback
  • Hunger to win, not just work

What You'll Get In Return

💸 £28,000–£30,000 DOE

🧘‍♀️ 28 days holiday (plus Bank Hols)

🕐 Flexible start/finish times

🥣 Free daily breakfast

🧠 Private health insurance (incl. mental health support & dental/optical perks)

🐶 Pet-friendly office

📅 Social calendar: hikes, comedy nights, yoga, and more

🍕 Team lunches & dinners

🚀 A role with runway – if you’re hungry to grow, we’ll back you

Who Thrives Here

You’ll thrive at Serotonin if:

  • You take ownership of problems and outcomes, not just tasks
  • You believe feedback is a gift — and you actively seek it
  • You prefer freedom and high expectations over micromanagement
  • You’re obsessed with improving: yourself, your campaigns, your team
  • You think commercially, not just creatively
  • You want to be surrounded by people who make you better

You won’t thrive here if:

  • You’re looking to coast
  • You don’t want to be held to a high standard
  • You’re uncomfortable with change, challenge, or direct communication

Application Timeline

  • Applications: Open 3rd July – Close 14th July 2025
  • Responses: w/c 15th July
  • Interviews: 14th – 21st July (first round in-person, others online)
  • Start date: 1st September (or earlier depending on notice period)

Recruiters – we mean it:

We don’t work with you. Don’t call, email, or try.
